Friday Foolishness – Masked Edition

Wheeee! And around we go again, to the edge, the lip – dare I say verge? – of the weekend! And what better way to get yourself in a silly shenanigan-esque mood than the Friday Foolishness?
What would the week now ending have been without blog reading? No idea, and I don’t want to find out. Here’s just a tiny fraction of what I enjoyed this week:Sights N Bytes stretched his writing muscles with a new series, completely different for him. The Girl in the Cat Frame Glassescame back!
And WhatIMeant2Say put up a sarcastically hilarious post about unhelpful advice for the depressed.

Thanks to them and all the rest of you for giving me plenty of great things to read all week long.

And one last note: I’ve gone on (probably add nauseum) about how y’all are the coolest people in the sphere. Last night I was lucky to grab a beer at the Corner Bistro with Brain Tomahwak and Love and Lunchmeat. And now I can say I also know some of the coolest people in the real world.
Thanks, I had a blast!

Something else I did all week long was go through the answers from last weeks poll. We asked What’s In Your Junk Drawer?, and your answers were anything but junk. (As always, my comments are unidentifiable and gathering dust in italics.)My Ray Gun and a Spare Pair of Evils 🙂 lol Androgoth(Can I borrow one of those? I used all my evil at the DMV.)My shameful toys… (I meant Barbies and all the old toys!! Gutter mind…-jill)(Doesn’t sound too bad.

Lindav(WE HAVE A WI– Wait – what?)My junk. – Hotspur(Next you’ll be saying you keep the bodies in the freezer. How typical.)It really is not a whole drawer. It has a false bottom. Secret false bottom. Red(I was wondering how you stashed a chainsaw in there…Red? RED?!?)Don’t have one right now, it sucks. Junk scattered – Carrie Cannibalistic Nerd(Scavenger hunt for the missing measuring tape!)priceless..irreplaceable items..awindowintothewoods(Because after the revolution, twist-ties will be currency.)Why my Herman Munster slippers of course… Androgoth(There’s probably a zombie cattle prod snuggled comfily inside them…)My Rubik’s Cube, Pet Rock and Mood Ring. Michelle Motley News(So where are you storing disco and your Betamax tapes?)Dog hair.. When you have 13 dogs, their hair is everywhere. Michelle Motley News (again)(When you fill the drawer, you can knit an Afghan. Or a Poodle.). . . These are a few of my favorite things! Benzeknees(Please let the kittens with whiskers out of the drawer, Benze.)My life is kind of a junk drawer, really. I’m a work in progress.(Your life is a collection of chip clips and crumpled post-it pads? Or is that just me?)Hahahahaha id,tell you but i.cant open it lizziec(Pity. There’s a really great reply to this in there!)Duct tape, a mango pit, nail clippers, and a half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich. (WE HAVE A WINNER!!!)(continued from ducttape grilled cheese): 47 cents, &a mini-mag light.-asplenia(Ok, ok. We get it , Macgyer)My bet B.O.B. and a crap load of batteries.(You don’t call it “Robert”? It’s longer…)The real question is what’s NOT in my junk drawer. – 25tofly(Nono, that’s next weeks poll.)the neighbour’s dead cat, God that thing stinks (SnB)(Good thing you tested it before you stuffed your neighbor in there!)All the things I can’t find. Elyse 54.5()The one that has dozens of kickball championship wristbands! 🙂 Quirky(Those should be on display. NOBODY PUTS KICKBALL IN A JUNK DRAWER!!!)A dirty old rag and….that’s it. (words&otherthings)(Mm Hmm. Sure it is…)my kalashnikovs. Cheap rent for every blogger! NBI(You want a bunch of bloggers to move into a drawer with rifles? What could possibly go wrong?)The Big Mac list that is too long for this answer box. (Frank)(Better in the junk drawer than your stomach!)A better question: What’s not in my junk drawer? Grippy(Better? Maybe. Shorter answer? Definitely!)Funky junk. sandylikeabeach(Marky Mark would like that back please.)Michael Jackson’s chimp, Bubbles.

Congratulations to Asplenia for a winning inventory list! And from the offered choices, the most popular was a tie again, between Hoffa’s Teamster ring. and All the bodies I could fit. The rest are in New Jersey. So congratulations to all you happily demented folk as well!

This week, we’re going topical. Like a cream. As you all know, there’s a holiday coming. Yes, St Jude/St Simon day celebra- Hmm? Hallo-what? Is that the one with the shadow? Matzah? What’s that? Candy and monsters? There’s a preschool holiday?!? Ohhhh – Halloween. Why didn’t you say so?
This week, we’d like to know who you’ll be going as. Someone you love? Someone you hate? The real you?
Let us know. Just scare us with your alter ego before 1 November, 2359 EST.
And if you leave a write in, let me know who you are and I’ll link back to you next week.

Take Our Poll
There you have it,folks.
In closing,, I leave you with this.
Two hilarious versions of the same goofiness.
And just a bit more silly, that I found from from the talented blogger and published author, Carrie Rubin
Updated – Thanks to Starla’s Chat for pointing out embedding was disabled. You’ll have to click the link for the video,but it is entertaining!Until next time, have a great week y’all!

I’m glad I’ve been saving bread twisty ties I will keep doing that a little encouragment goes a long way to a hoarder. :+) Well maybe not a full on hoarder. I’m an ornganised person in training.
I enjoyed the videos! :+) I noticed carries video shows up Embedding disabled you probably knew that just thought I would mention it. Happy Weekend! Wheeeee! Can’t get enough of that Wheeeeeee!

Thanks for the mention. Very kind of you! And great post as always. You have a wonderful way of spreading the blog love around. And only you could get me to use the phrase “spreading the blog love around.” 🙂

It’s Fall Festival Time! Hip Hip hooray… cause we can;t have Halloween in school anymore… oh yes the beginning of the hypocritical holiday season….sigh.. BUT (and that is a big but ) CANDY! It is also the best time of year from now til Jan 1 to be a kid. I am so glad I didn;t grow up ..so much .. 🙂 great foolishness always fun and um… foolish? yeah that works.. I love the Old Spice Commercials with that guy but Grover is somehow even better all blue and furry, It;s also time to start baking…well ok next week. Tell TMWGITU I Love her 🙂 don;t be scared geez… and I hope you two have an awesome weekend !!

well no more preschool fall festival and there is only a small window of time befire they are old enough to realize there are no pins sticking out of the candy bars I confiscate… they understand it’s possible but they get suspicious when all the snickers and laffy taffys are tainted….so its all upto them this year how much I score – if they leave it out where I can find it enough times well yea.. we shall see…
and
I have no clue what you are talking about … 🙄

Hahaahaha, love the Sesame Street version. But once the video ended, I found myself clicking on another suggested one…and found myself watching Lonely Island videos for the next half an hour. Man, I love them.

Thank you for adding my ridiculousness, actually I had forgotten that I had added three on this one, and I always enjoy these kinds of postings as they add to the fun around our WP… Indeed your brand of joviality is second to none 🙂 Thank you for adding these El Guapo 🙂 Oh and do have a frighteningly excellent weekend also 🙂

Even the ones who claim they aren’t creative are (yeah,I’m looking at you, Frank).
Happy Halloween to you, FPP,and try not to eat all your kids candy.
(Let them have a piece or two.That should be enough!) 😉

Those Old Spice commercials crack me up, but my favorite going right now is the VW spot where the bulldog eats the guy’s keys. Love that one. As for the toothpaste, I was thinking of switching it up for the kids this year and going with floss? Grover for President….

I am so sad I missed that beer session on Friday and what I assume was plotting to take over the world. I blame the subway and the asterisk like intersections of Greenwich village, but that is only because I am not ready to accept the fact that my navigational skills are not as good as I think they are. I hope you’re staying warm and dry and that you kick Sandy’s ass.

I came over, hoping to find you asleep and toilet paper your blog the day before Halloween. But all if find are empties, red cups and a clothes lying around. I missed the party. For that…I’m showing up at your door in a mother-in-law disguise tomorrow night.

I’m so glad all is okay.ish in your neck of the woods, I’ve been worried and even lit a candle! (one of the ones left over after I bought some for Grippy’s house to sell–St Someone or another). I love your Friday posts–full of links and info and good times. Continue to be safe, good sir!!

I am just calling in for a quick visit,
I hope that your Halloween was scary
enough for you, and hopefully you
were kidnapped by a group of sexy
nurses, noooo not the Zombie one’s
as they only like injecting fear into
their victim…, I was thinking on the
lines of Angelina Jolie in the niff but
seriously I hope that you got some
of that, or at least some of the other 😉
